Happiness and joy abound
On quiet days like this
Sun sets softly on the ground
A bright and glowing kiss
The blue-sky changes orange then pink
The kids laugh, run and play
I walk around and ponder, think
How beautiful the day
All life’s sorrows, woes and fears
Are scattered in the breeze
No more crying, no more tears
On Summer days like these
Autumn’s coming, winter too
But I don’t mind at all
Plants will wither, die it’s true
As Summer turns to Fall
Until then, I’ll soak it in
I’ll hear the Summer sounds
Warm sunlight upon my skin
Wind rustling all around
a pinch of homestead
